Why not just use tpautoconf -t? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of selwyn Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2007 8:10 PM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Re: Media Changer Utility for Solaris Curtis is correct, I use the script to populate a file which map tape drives devices to device paths. The map information is then used to provide parameters to tpconfig to define the drives for netbackup to use. I can get the device files for the drives and the robot from sgscan. I will try echoing parameters to tldtest tomorrow. I also found an open source utility called mtx which may work. I downloaded it today, but I have not installed it yet. +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu * This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Changer Utility for Solaris
I'm guessing this is something he wants to do before building the library in NBU. And the library needs to be built in NBU for robtest to work. Tldtest can be told which specific robotic device to use, but robtest figures it out by listing libraries already defined. So the question really is, "why not just use tldtest?" Another answer might be to use mtx, the open source library manager. --- W.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Changer Utility for Solaris
More specifically, use the appropriate *test utility and pipe the commands to it... for a tld type robot you might do the following to move slot 1 to drive 1: echo "m s1 d1" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/ I'm not at my system right now, but I seem to recall that being the usage.

[Veritas-bu] Media Changer Utility for Solaris
I had written a script to match locations of robotic drives with their device path for HP-UX. I used the mc utility to move a tape from one drive to the next and then used mt to find out which device path matched the physical drive path. I would like to do create a script for solaris to do the same task, but there is no mc utility native to Solaris. Can anyone point me a solaris equivalent for the HP-UX mc utility? +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
